Dana White contemplates a procedure that might leave him unable to walk

But it can be taken without the ingredients that make you high, and it still works just as fine as painkiller, but when people dont want to take it like that, its not for painkilling they want it, they want to get high.

Yea man those cancer patients are really the lowest of the low. To think someone would go get cancer just so they can get high. Makes me sick.

Oh, there are millions using it even they dont have cancer, I personally dont mind if people use it, they can use it all they want, I just laugh at them when they try to play the painkilling card when in reality they just wanna get high.

Which coincidentally is what the majority of people on oxycontin, hydrocodone, oxycodone, even things like xanex etc. are doing, but since the government told you it was ok, you dont look at it as getting high, despite the fact that there is an epidemic of drug ADDICTS dying from doctor prescribed medicines. But yea, marijuana bad!

how much propaganda do you believe? sure you may have to buy it from some shady dealer but big pharm is far worse. even if you think weed is bad it is the least harmful drug out there coffee and soda are more harmful. just look at what big pharm did to heroine in oxycotton way more addicitve then heroine but since then cant slap their brand on it morons think its okay even thought it is worse seriously if you dont know anything about weed dont open you mouth about it

There was no propaganda in my post, nor do I think weed is bad. I think you jumped the gun on my post big time.

I don't smoke weed anymore, but look where the majority of it comes from. Not all obviously, hence why I said their are plenty of exceptions. Most of the weed is s--- and comes directly from Mexico right through SD and El Paso and goes from there. It's s---, but widely available and literally comes in by the tons of every month and that s--- is far from natural. So many chemicals. Those are facts. Not that I truly give a f---, just pointing it out.

Me personally? I have tons of favorites, blue moonshine was always a friend of mine.

10 years ago this would have been 100% true, but I would be comfortable saying that the US with the help of Canada now produces the majority of their own marijuana. The low quality bud that does come through mexico is still absolute s---, dirty weed that would likely make you sick if you regularly smoked it, but here for example, you cant find it. The days of mexicans running marijuana into the united states are coming to an end. Meth is a different story.

Those are regulated as well and doctors shouldnt give them either for the sake of giving them, they are given in certain periods rarely thay are given for people to eat for the rest of their lives etc.

Tell me why dont people accept the pot without the ingredients that make you go high, if the pain medication is the need..?

Canada doesn't even put a dent in the amount of the weed that comes into America compared to what Mexico is pumping out on a daily basis. It's just not even close.
The numbers that come over are crazy, what's even more crazy is the huge drug busts for Marijuana found in Mexico that was supposed to be shipped to the US in '12 alone. We are talking about finds of 119 tons, 39 tons, 8 tons(etc). Canada isn't even close to the stuff that ends up not making it over and getting it burnt.

A lot of people do accept "the pot without the ingredients that make you go high" The only downside is, thats not what marinol actually is. Marinol is lab manufactured substitute for marijuana, orally ingested, that DOESNT offer the same effects, and still causes a different high. They arent the same thing. What you need to understand is, medical marijuana was approved for a variety of treatments, not limited to "pain from cancer." Smoked marijuana offers a different effect than orally ingested marijuana, which offers a different effect from marijuana in topical solutions. Marinol does not cover all of these bases, yet some people do use it, because it works for them.

I think the biggest issue for you here is that you are trying to differentiate between being "medicated" and being "high."

When you use the word "high" you are describing the effects of the medication. When you use oxycontin, you are high, just like when you use xanex, or marijuana. If you stop trying to pretend that being "high" and being "medicated" are different, you'd have a much easier time figuring this out. The "high" is part of being medicated. They arent different events.

Recent studies show that the numbers we use to describe mexicos influence on drug trafficking in the US are inflated and incorrect. On top of that, our estimates are based on the ones we catch. Considering the mexican border is far smaller, and far harder to cross than the canadian border, it isnt unrealistic to estimate that the Canadians are sending their fair share of weed south. Also take into account things like medical marijuana and the legalization in the states, and I think you are giving too much credit to the mexicans.

Right, but you also have to remember a high percentage of pot isn't even coming from Mexico, just through and then directly to the US. Crossing over should be hard, but it's not.

I agree that with Canada, much more quality weed/strains are coming down and that's a plus, and legalization/medical marijuana is a plus as well, but the amount of weed that comes through Mexico(regardless of what country it's from) in the US is an insane number every single months. Crossing the boarder should be hard(btw), but it's not. Like I said, look at all the drug bust/finds for marijuana in 2012 alone. We are talking hundreds and hundreds of tons-the number that cross over are obviously far greater. I've always expected the US' number to be inflated/off though, so I'm not surprised by that.

BTW-I know some people from my hometown, I wouldn't call them my friends, but I know them. They were just busted selling marijuana, estimated at 500 plus pounds over the last few years. Hello prison! )

Mexico definitely pumps a lot of weed into the US, all I am saying is that number is greatly dropping by the year. Our production in the US has grown by the 100's of %s in just the past 8-10 years. Mexican drug lords are definitely making a pretty penny, just not nearly as much as they once could.

IDK. I don't see it dropping that drastically. Many people just want a high and cheaper is always the best option for them. I don't deny numbers have went down, but at the rate they produce and ship, it's still just an insanely high number and Canada doesn't even put a dent when you talk about the about of tons that come through. That's all I was saying and that's why I said the other day that most the weed around is not natural. That cheap s--- as so many chemicals in it!.

Just wanted to make this clear as well-I'm all for legalizing marijuana in general. I'm a lush, booze is my downfall, I'd be a hypocrite to say weed shouldn't be legalized! Besides my girl is a fan of it, even though she hasn't used it in forever. Sometimes being a mom will do that. haha.

Yea no point in going into the legalization debate anyways. Its legal here, and it seems to be going that way in a lot of places. I agree about the cheap shitty mexican weed, I think the only place we disagree is the numbers. With how much production has skyrocketed, use would have had to skyrocket equally as far for the US's own production to not make a huge dent in mexican numbers. I also think you're underestimating those canadians! They ship a LOT of marijuana and Marijuana extracts to the US.

Indeed and it's good stuff
I'd still expect the busts in Mexico are greater than what Canada pumps into the US alone though. That could change down the road if you're right on what your'e saying though.

That is not the full thing he said, the procedure would leav him unable to walk until he relearned how to walk. It took one of his friends father six weeks to relearn how to walk and he was 60.

Glad I read this post. OP might want to change the title of this thread.

So if i'm not mistaken, this isn't the first time that Dana says he'd have to learn how to walk after a procedure. I definitely heard it somewhere months ago already.
I say go for it. Apparently the ear operation wasn't as successful as Dana hoped it would be. And he's a tough guy, he'll learn how to walk again.

You're definitely right weight wise, but I'd guess the dollar values would be pretty close to equal.
